Is there any such thing as sheep bacon?

According to the popular website Bacon Unwrapped, there is a restaurant in Washington, DC called the Equinox/ whose guest chef once included "lamb bacon" on the menu.

The review:

"The bacon was cut from lamb underbelly and cured to give it that delicious salty 'bacon' taste. I likened the texture to corned beef, which probably seems kind of weird but there was just something about it texture-wise (not the way it tasted) that reminded me of corned beef. My dining companion thought it was similar to pancetta. His comparison is probably more accurate. Either way it was delicious. And for those who don't eat pork bacon for religious or other reasons, it's another way to enjoy the 'candy of meats.'"

I have to say, the author of "Bacon Unwrapped" is quite . . . thorough in his/her love of this salty treat.
